Is there any goal for a life or nothing at all?

I will start off by saying that I am not religious. I have been a part of many churches and am fascinated by the idea of religion - especially really early religion before man had cities, or even settled into communities - but I am not myself religious. I have found that through not being religious the question of whether life has any meaning is a hard one to answer. When a person is religious they can just say 'God put me here' and move forwards, gaining comfort from the idea of a purpose in life, and I know people who have done that. I would like to do that but my mind is too quizzical and examines everything so the idea of a God didn't work with me in the end. So after a great deal of thinking I came to the conclusion that there wasn't really a purpose for human life, save for perhaps a biological one. In college I did philosophy (I didn't like it, but I had to study it) and there was an argument which stated that the purpose for human existence is to reproduce. I didn't agree with that when I was in college, but now that I am older I have come to agree more with that because I have matured and it seems most logical. All other animals seem to be ruled on some level by those base instincts, so it seems odd that us humans would be any different. I am still truly seeking a really fitting answer to this question, but at the moment the above idea is the idea I have identified most with, and so it is the one I have used to answer this question. I do want to add again though that I do not hate religion, I just don't believe in them on a personal level, even if I understand how they help others. All the best and good luck finding your own answer to this question :) Dranz

Hey, I think that the main goal in life is to tell people about God, and at the same time to help those dying poor people out their. They have no food to eat, no shelter, and no drinkable water. We should help them. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!
